Curious E'Aosphors seenee

The Walker Lake Bulletin has
the following: For an hour or two
after dark a curious phosphorescent
light may be seen just under the
caves on the western sides of some
of the rough sheds around town. 1t
is probably some phosphorescent
form of lime which has been lodged
on tue rough boards during the re-
centwinds. These phosphorescents
require to be fed with light as the
common match box-faces and watch
crystals. That the luminous streak :
are only seen on the west side of
rough sheds, may be accounted for
by the direction of the prevailing
winds sending the PARTICLES of lime
against that side, and the rough
boards just under the caves would
catch in their splinters greater por-
ton. The light which is absorbed
from the setting sun is not all given
out for something oyeran hour after
dark and the effect IS very striking

New Railroad Project.

The Battle Mountain Central
Nevadan of last Tuesday says:
The question of building a railroad
from here north by way of Tusca
rora, is being considered by Eastern
capitalists; tie proposition is to ex-
tend the Nevada Central not only
to Tuscarora, but clear through to
the Snake river in Idaho. What
will be done in the matter is hard
to say, but it is probable, that such
a road will be built at no distant
day, and that it would be a paying
property.

TAPPING TAHOE.
\ Misapprehension Corrected

A NisapprehensiOn Corrected
The Truckee Republican alludinR
to the scheme of tapping Lake Ia
hoe says:
AS we have remarked before it
will be necessary for the Nevada
folks to obtain permission of the
California folks before they under
take the above scheme. 1t is
hardly probable that the people will
care to part with the wafer privi-
leges which they possess in Lake
Tahoe.
Does the Republican hold that
under any known water law, the
people CT California own the water
in Lake Tahoe which lies this side
the line? Hardly. The people who
propose to utilize the waters of
Lake Tahoe, do not propose in any
way to lessen the waters now flow
ing down the Truckee River
The water in the Truckee River
is being wasted eyerv year by the
unenterprising and short sighted
people who live along its banks.
They do not however want Nevada
to use the water which they an
nually waste.
In the same issue the Republican
cditorially remarks:
Something ought to be done to-
wards utilizing the magnificent
water power which exists in the
Truckee river. Enough power
goes to waste here every year,
which, were it properly applied
would turn the wheels of industry
In half Of the manufactures of the
State.
Here is a clear acknowledgment
that the water is being wasted. In
that case does California propose to
keep Nevada from using it because
California is talking about it. How
ever this is neither here nor there.
Neveda does not propose to deprive
California of any of its water
rights It Is proposed to build
dam at the headwaters of the
Trurkee three feet high to cause the
waters of the Lake to rise in Win
ter three feet higher than now. This
would give a body of water thirty
miles long, fifteen miles wide and
three feet thick, which has hereto
fore run to waste,
This amount of water would be
all that the tunnel projectors would
need, and more too. The surplus
could be given to California in the
Summer when it needs it most. In
other words this scheme would be
Of lasting benefit to the California
interests lying along the Truckee.
These men would reap a benefit
from Nevads'S enterprise and when
the nature of the enterprise is more
fully understood we do not believe
there will be any more growing
from over the Sierra Range.

THE CREMATOR SITUATION.

The swell of the river has put new phase
on the cremator business. Oh, yes, the site
finally decided upon by the city fathers
TONED with 81 COO fresh from the city treas
ury was thigh up above any possible rise IN
the river Such is the argument common
among those desiring the cremator at the
foot of First street. The slight swell In the
river has made the water four or five feet
deep over the site selected. That has had
tendency to raralize the champions OF the
new deal together with the agent for the ere
mator company.
This fact has suggested to those most
concerned that the site amt exactly
suitable for that business. The cremator out
in the river month or two at time 1t Is
thought won't give the city good service IN
that particular During that time some one
might have a cart load of something not cal
culated to agreeably entertain the neighbors
1t was stated some time ago that work had
been commenced on building furnace fol
the cremator. No indications of such action
could be seen, however, and it was believed
the report only started to delay the work OF
getting the site removed.
The state Of affairs now seems
severely changed The river taking il
the ''high siteT makes it difficult for the ere
mator company to put in their plant. They
are under contract to have it completed by
certain time A gentleman familiar Will
the river stated that if high water continued
| as long as usual this season of the year, l
would go beyond the time granted the com
pany for getting their plant in operation
That would, he thought, kill the contract o
the city with that company and leave tn
former to pay the owner of the site Sl,O0O
The lots near the foot of Orme street
which are owned by the city,
thought well suited to the purpos
being above high water mark and not in tn
center of the city. 1t was the opinion of tn
gentleman that the matter would finally b
settled by using the Orme street site, as tn
company could not possibly use the othe
without building bridge, and he did no
think it would do that.
! While the action Of the council had great
retarded the work of getting a cremator, h
observed that the city filth was &C
cumulating as fast if not NOR
rapidly than ever The delay caused by tn
action was causing the city to longer be er
dangered by the refuse and garbage. d
was firmly of the opinion that by the tim
the contract with the company was not fu
filed and a new effort made to get crema
tor and one put in operation he city woul
slightly be in need of the plant unless tn
cold weather brought temporary relief.

a committee consisting of II. II. McAlister,
w. r. Rogers, John Stewart and A. Gordon
were appointed to raise 5000 for the Stein
hauser- Merkle building on Fifth avenue, be-
tween Second and Third streets. The COM
mittee made its report Thursday night In the
Office of Mr.. Geo. c. Strong. They had
raised the entire amount from parties whose
property would be enhanced in value by the
imposing brick block. Now, Mr.. Steinhauser
says the building is an assured fact. He re-
turned from ST. Louis Thursday evening,
where he has been looking after questions
pertaining to his building. He means to
make it one of the best buildings for his bust
ness there is in the state. All new appli-
ances and the best of material will be used.
Work on the excavation will commence
next week. The entire work will be pushed
rapidly to completion.
